Tom Gillam is very good.He does some very good rock here with a touch of alt-country. This is a great cd.Go to Amazon.com or You Tube and check him out, then buy a cd. I got the cd at Amazon.com, a great place to buy new and used music.

I just saw Tom Gillam and Tractor Pull at a club gig near Philly last weekend. My good friend is bassist Tim McMaster's cousin and my buddy has been bugging me to see the band for a while. I am sorry I didn't go years ago. These guys are great. Tom Gillam is a real talent. Fabulous singer and writer and slide guitar player. And his band rocks! They each are tremendous players. Country Rock or Americana is probably the name of the genre, but there are elements of of alot of great artists rolled in Tom Gillam's music - Joe Walsh, Eagles, Tom Petty, Dwight Yoakum, Allmans, the great Southern Rockers like Skynyrd, Tucker & Outlaws, Joe Ely, etc. The one hour set I saw was way too short - I could have listened quite a bit more. These guys are moving south to the Austin area and will tour around. Go see them - you will become a fan.

The Dallas record is great. I just bought it off itunes since it cannot be found new here. The title song should have received major radio airplay. Tom Gillam should be better known. I have just ordered his two latest from Amazon and cannot wait until they get here. If the discs are half as good as Tom Gillam and Tractor Pull are live, they will receive alot of airtime with me.

This CD transcends labels or genres. Some call it Americana, some call it Country Rock, to me it's just flat out good stuff. Tom Gillam is a singer songwriter slide guitar player whose talent shines through on every track of this cd. With subtle hints of Joe Walsh, Gregg Allman, Pete Droge, and Dan Baird, Tom blends many of his own influences into a unique style that is fresh and captivating. This now lives in my disc player, where it gets played over and over. Tell your friends about this one, they will be thankful you did.

Tom displays an unbelievable talent with this CD. His expertise on slide guitar makes you feel like you are listening to JOE WALSH all over again, however Tom adds his own special touch which seperates him from most musicians. Went to see Tom in Philadelphia and he was absolutely spectacular as was the rest of his band, which includes his brother "RHONDO" on drums, who is also spectacular. This is a MUST buy for anyone who has taste for GREAT music.

PS- Found out Tom will be touring ARIZONA, TEXAS and NASHVILLE. The word is out... BUY IT TO BELIEVE IT!!!

I don't think I would have found this on my own because I don't normally jump into new artists without strong recommendations. I owe my friend "big-time" for this recommendation and I turn it back to you Amazon music buyer. There's no easy music genre to qualify Tom Gillam except sophisticated music, thoughtful lyrics and great musical spirit. Can't wait to hear his future recordings!!!!

Super, super record. Terrific musicianship and songrwriting. I have not heard such quality stuff from a new artist like this in a long time.

People really need to check this out, because there is some really fine guitar playing and singing on this album. I hope this artist gets the support he deserves. There are many great tunes on this record, not just one, like you see with many artists.
